IF YOU WANT TO ENJOY LIFE MORE...SPIT THE DAMN APPLE OUT

The tree of the knowledge of good and evil is a symbolism for judgement, and could be defined as the tree of judgement wherein people judge each other and the world according to their own concepts of right and wrong, whereas if Adam and Eve had not eaten of the fruit, they would have been mere OBSERVERS, and not in judgement.

The natural world does what it does. It is a system that operates by cause and effect. No one would call a storm evil, nor sunshine good unless they were in judgement.

An OBSERVER would call a storm, a storm and sunshine, sunshine, and leave it at that. An OBSERVER would call men’s actions neither good nor bad.

Man is as much a part of nature as is a storm or sunshine. Can a man be who he is not at any given time? Can you be who you are not? Will you not act your part according to your thoughts, beliefs and opinions? Man too is part of nature. And as such he acts his part, whether violent or peaceful.

You will NEVER be at peace until you leave off judgement and accept the reality that exists from moment to moment. Certainly you may or will try to change things you don’t like or do like, but that is not judgement. Judgement is to call things good or evil, vice or virtue, right or wrong, and those words come from having bought into and eaten the mental mind split apple from the tree of judgement, from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. It’s a mental duality we have bought into.

An OBSERVER does not have a split mind. There is neither good nor evil, nor virtue or vice, no right and wrong. There is just what IS...without judgement.

It is sufficient for man to recognize what he likes and then seek to maintain it and also to recognize what he doesn’t like and seek to stop it. He does not judge pain as evil and pleasure as good, yet he seeks to have pleasure and avoid pain, and works to have one and not the other.

NATURE & MAN ARE ONE AND DO WHAT THEY DO....IT IS THE WAY OF LIFE.

If you want continual joy peace and happiness, the only way to obtain them is to NOT JUDGE. When you are out of judgement, life takes on a new life and vibrance that brings joy and not sorrow, happiness and not sadness, peace and not war. You will no longer be at war with your thoughts, for they will not be judgmental, for you will accept the reality that is life, that cannot but be what it is at any given moment.

The Bible is full of wonderful allegories and lessons, and they manifest and reveal themselves at different levels of understanding according to one’s ability to comprehend, or rather, according to ones knowledge, understanding and wisdom.
